This drill can be used as a warm up to actively stretch the hamstrings prior to a lower body workout (hip mobility) or it can be implemented as an exercise for the same muscle group by holding a dumbbell in each hand.
While keeping the body totally straight (imagine you have a broomstick going from your heel to your head) raise the rear leg and bend foward at the hips until you feel a stretch in the back of the planted leg.
Come back to the standing position and repeat for the desired number of reps.
When performed as an exercise this is difficult for balance, you'll experience more soreness in the glutes than with a two legged version of the same exercise.
